aiding in keeping theinterior of a building comfortable during extremelycold or stormy \Y0:l tl1G1."Tl16 type of storm window commonlyused' must be removed durin warm seasons of the year and'replaced duringcold seasons, as the ineans foripermittin'g ventila tion is "limited. Furthermore, this type of -10 storm-window usually necessitates the secur- .ing thereof to the window frame from the ex 'te'riorof the building thus causing. consid- 'era-ble inconvenient;- work at certain periods of-"the yearin order to obtain the desired comfortable building.

living condition within the "The present" invention relates "to storm.- windows of that particular class which are.

provided witha double pair of slidable sashes,

' each pair comprisingan' upper sashand a.

lower sash and all the sashes being achust- An importantobject of myinvention is the provision 'of two pair'of sashes slidably and detachably mounted infa window frame for permitting the use of aiscreen in either the to )or bottomof the'i'rame', as well as provi ing easy access toall the panes ofglass from the insidejfor washing. replacingor're- .pair'ing the-same, or for painting the sashes from the inside, and including removable cleats and facings on the left hand side of 40 the frame in order that allsashes may be conveniently removed from the-interior of thebuilding. 7 e

It is also an object'of the inventionto providea' window construction of the above mdica'ted character, which is simple and sub- --stantial in. construction, whichg'ca'n be menufactured economically, and which Wlll be thoroughly efii'cient and practical in use.

. With the .for oing "andother objects in] view, whichwill e apparent as the descri tion proceeds, --the 'inventionjremdes m t e" construction 'and=,arrangeinent-- of parts, as

hereinafter described-land elaimed', it being S torm windows'are extensively used. in 'vav rlous sections throughout the country for wnvpow;

ap uc ammeannaar 25,1927, Serial No. 163,410,-and in Canada Mai-ch22, 192a;

understood that' c'hanges can be made withi in the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The invention is illustrated in the.acc0mp'anying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is aninside view otmy improved a window,

Figure 2 1s a vertical section taken on hne 22 of F gure l,

taken on line 3--3 of Figure 1,

Figured is an enlarged vertical section taken on 1ine-'4-4' of Figure 3, and

Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, showing the locking element in unlocked position. a 1 a In thedrawings, the numeral lOdesignates a window frame having the 'usual facing strips 11, sill 12, and cleats 13 for slidably supporting an upper window sash 'l tand alower window sash 15.- The above is the usual construction of a wlndow.

.1 Figure3 is a fragmentary vertical section Exteri'orly of the sashes 14 and 15 in the window frame 10,- are slidably mounted another pair of upper and lower sashes 16 engage the top and bottomof the window. frame 10 when said sashes are in closed posi tion. The two upper sashes 14 andlfi have their [bottom strips provided with inclined.

and 17, respectively slidably mounted in the faces 19 which are adapted to engage inclined 1 5 and 17 'so that when all of the sashes are in closed positions air-tight compartments will be provided between the uppersashes .and'the lower sashes. WVhile-opposite inclined faces are provided onthe strips of faces 20 on the top strips of the lower sashes A ate sashes, the several strips fitting together when the window is closed, as shown in Fig. 2.

Each of the" sash is provided with a locking element 21 which consists vof a pin 22 slidably arranged in a bore '23 inthe sash frame, saidbor'ebeing'enlarged at one end, as at 24, to accommodate a coil spring ,25v arranged about the pin Ell-"and. engaging aplate'26 at 105.

one end and a washer 2'( at the oppositeend,

said washer being held against sliding move ment on the 22 means of asmall pin 28 extending through the.pin 22. The pin 22 extends throu h the plate 26 and has pivots ally connected thereto a lever 29, said lever having a hand engaging portion 30 at one end and a forked portion 31 at the op osite end,

the opposite side portions of saidorked endbeing at opposite sides of the pin 22 and pivotally connected to the pin by means of a pivot pin 32 extending through said side portions and through said pin 22. The side portions of the forked leverprotrude a slight distance beyond the point of pivot so that when said lever is swung upon said pivot, the ends of said side portions will engage the plate 26 and cause the pin 22 to be slid in the .bore 23 against tension of the coil spring 24. The window fraine 10 has provided therein at spaced intervals :1 series'of sockets 35 into which the pins 22 are adapted to engage in order to lock the sashes in various positions. It is to be noted that the locking elen'ients are located in the side rails of the sashes at the inner side of the window panes for convenient manipulation in locking. and unlocking the sashes from the inside of the window frame.

In operation, any one or more of the sashes may-be slid withinthe window frame in order to open the window as desired, the locking means being manipulated by the hand engaging portion of the lever 29 on the sash to be opened and'swinging said lever to'a position such as that indicated in Figure v 5, when the pin 22 will be drawn from the opening in the window frame. The sashes have attached thereto the usual weights (not shown) "inorder that the sashes will remain in the positions they are left in when 1111- locked. When it is desired to locka sash in a certain position it is slightly moved until one of the openings 35 alines with the pin 22 and the pin released by swinging the lever 29 to a position such as that indicated in Figure 4 of theofiicial drawings. Q 7

It is to be noted that I 'have not provided a temporary storm window, but have-arranged in the window frameitwo pair of sashes which are of permanent constru'ctionfand remain in. the WlIldOW frame at all times. It can also be seen that the sashes may be moved to differentipositions in the window. frame in order toprovide annaximum size opening through the window. By sliding the sashes access may be gained to-both..-sides of'all of the sashes so as to permit repairing or painting of all sashes. The cleats are a1 ranged so that the ones on the left hand side may be conveniently removed in order to remove the sashes, thus pernuttmg a person removing or replacing a sash to do so 1-rom -within the buildin By" arranging the sashesso that the uppermost of one pair .en-

gages the lowermost of the other fpair,f two -air spaces. are provided, which will permit the retainingof one air space should a pane ofglass forming a wall of the other air space be broken or otherwise rendered ineiiicient. I

Having-thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

BELONIE CLAVETTE.
